If you have $10,000 ready to invest, exchange traded funds (ETFs) can make the process far simpler.
They allow investors to gain exposure to themes, indices, regions, or investment styles with a single click of a button. And by combining a small number of complementary ASX ETFs, it is possible to build a diversified portfolio without overcomplicating things.
With that in mind, here are three ASX ETFs that could be worth considering if you were investing $10,000 today.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF provides investors with access to some of the world's most influential growth companies.
This ASX ETF tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index, which is heavily weighted toward technology and innovation leaders. Its holdings include companies such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).
What makes the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF so attractive is its focus on businesses that continue to reinvest heavily in innovation and scale globally. This cements their leadership positions and leaves them well-placed for growth over the long term. Particularly given their exposure to trends such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital services.
VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF (ASX: ESPO)
Another ASX ETF that could be a great option for a $10,000 investment is the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF.
It offers investors a more thematic way to invest in global growth. This ASX ETF focuses on stocks that are involved in video games, esports, and interactive entertainment. Holdings include businesses such as Nvidia, Tencent Holdings (SEHK: 700), Take-Two (NASDAQ: TTWO), and Roblox Corp (NYSE: RBLX).
Gaming continues to grow as both a form of entertainment and a social platform, with revenues increasingly driven by digital downloads, subscriptions, and in-game spending. The VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF provides exposure to this trend without relying on the success of a single title or franchise.
This fund was recently recommended by analysts at VanEck.
VanEck MSCI International Value ETF (ASX: VLUE)
Another ASX ETF that could be worth considering for a $10,000 investment is the VanEck MSCI International Value ETF.
This fund invests in international stocks that score highly on valuation metrics such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios. Its holdings change periodically but currently include established global businesses like Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM), Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC).
This focus on value can help offset some of the volatility associated with growth-heavy ETFs. Over time, value stocks have tended to perform well during different phases of the market cycle, particularly when investors rotate away from high-growth names.
This means that the VanEck MSCI International Value ETF can provide diversification not just by geography, but by investment style as well. It was also recently recommended by VanEck recently.
